Tell Them From Me
The 'Partners in Learning' Parent Survey is based on a comprehensive questionnaire covering several aspects of parents' perceptions of their children's experiences at home and school. It is based primarily on Joyce Epstein's framework for fostering positive school and community relations. Successful schools foster greater communication with parents, encourage parental involvement in their child's
schoolwork, and enlist parents to volunteer at the school and participate in school governance. The survey also provides feedback to schools about how parents feel the school supports learning and positive behaviour and promotes a safe and inclusive environment.
The survey includes seven separate measures, scored on a ten-point scale. A score of 0 indicates strong disagreement; 10 indicates strong agreement; 5 is a neutral position (neither agree nor disagree).
The data gathered from this survey helps us form our Annual Improvement and Strategic Plans. Of course, we welcome a conversation at any point in time about concerns so that we can address these immediately.
The data is also provided to the Catholic Education Office, and we would love them to hear about the wonderful things happening at St Mary's. Hence, we encourage all parents and carers to participate. The more responses we receive, the more accurate our data is.
The graph below shows an overview of our 2022 results. There were only eleven respondents in 2022.
A link to the survey will be emailed to you this afternoon. The survey closes on 9 June.
School Fees for Term 2
Last week you would have received by email your Term 2 Fee Statements. Please let Belinda know if you haven't got it.
As part of this transformation, existing direct debits and using Qkr for most payments will cease. All families have been allocated new BPAY numbers, the preferred method for paying your school fees. You can set up periodical payments via your bank. You may also use Compass Pay. Cash at the school office is still an acceptable form if necessary.
Belinda can provide you with your BPAY details if required.
Please note- do not use our old bank account details for payment of uniform, fees or excursions.
